"The plays operate at a much less ambitious level. It’s good summer holiday content, the feeling you’re taking the kids to something that will both mildly entertain and mildly improve them. But for something so obsessed with naughtiness, ‘Terrible Tudors’ actually plays it very safe."

“With songs, slapstick and pauses for explainers along the way, it delivers a whirlwind recap of the period in British history...from the cheers and jeers of its young, attentive audience, it seems this one still has some mileage in it.”

“The Tudor Dynasty was particularly brutal so the show relies heavily on the japes and panto-capers of the cast; and this double hander successfully fills the children with glee...A great school holiday activity for all the family. A terribly funny show, jam packed with some very horrible history indeed.”
